SHOCK HEADLINE:PENNERS DOES IT AGAIN!I just returned from the annual projected image competition at the club and won best monochrome for this image;

The judge also gave it an immediate score of twenty, rather than hold it back for consideration, with the comment that it would look better in print. I've been looking for a third entry for the annual print competition in two weeks so that is one problem sorted.

We also got the official results for the merit competitions for both projected image and print categories where I came runner up in both. For the projected image, I scored the same number of points as the winner but lost out on the number of twenties scored through the season (I feel a bit like England going out in the penalty shoot outs ). Not too bad for a novice to club comps and the committee are talking about promoting me up from intermediate to the advanced members next season. To say that I am feeling rather chuffed (and flattered), at the moment, would be a gross understatement.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
